Hello JP! and List; I guess I should clarify myself here. In no way did I mean that the Empowerment Zone helped or is helping the businesses named, Sorry if that's what appeared to sound like. I was just meaning instead of these type places. There should be other more positive businesses in

I too felt like I was living in Fallujah on July 4th. We thought the tenants from hell in the corner house had moved out. This was evidenced by the stock pile of broken down furniture and crap piled on the boulevard spilling into the street. Since, it didn't get placed out there until Friday,

I'm shocked, shocked to hear that one candidate for the DFL endorsement would take steps block other candidates, who also want that endorsement, from getting it. Boy has campaigning stooped to a new low ;o) Also Mr. Remington accuses Mr. Persons of personal attacks and then accuses him of

An article in this week's Skyway News (July 4-10) reports on the condo project by Magellan, Village Green and BKV... These were the guys who somehow grew their project to a ridiculous 48 floors...which apparently drew the ire and scorn of Citizens for a Loring Park Community. The architect's
